Aktuelle Forschungsfelder

The institute is in the process of building up a test-cluster system built with different hardware elements from energy efficient CPU over accelerators up to manycore systems to evaluate different approaches and methods for optimization of cloud image placement and programming models.

Forschungsfelder

Autonomous Infrastructure Management

Collecttion of Data and Metris for Cluster Management based on the co-developed TIMACS framework(more information)

Cloud Computing

Cloud executionware dealing with the platform specific mapping of the application to the architectural model and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of the execution infrastructure of the Cloud provider, and with capabilities of monitoring the running application and possible reconfiguration to optimise its behavior in particular within the EU project PaaSage (see paasage.eu)

Future Cloud Architectures

Heterogeneous Computing Systems

Programming models for heterogeneous systems for embedded and high performance computing incorporating notions of cost for communication, data usage and access, algorithmic description

Operating Systems for large scale heterogeneous infrastructures that create minimal overhead for the system and thus exploits the resources best
